Study Summary

This trial aims to understand how amputees control their muscles in order to improve the design of prosthetic limbs. The researchers will compare the muscle activity in non-amputated individuals and amputees

Who is the study for?

This trial is for lower limb amputees who use a prosthetic to stay active and independent. It's also for non-amputee individuals as a comparison group. The study aims to understand muscle control in both groups during various tasks.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The research focuses on comparing the muscle activity of amputated limbs with that of intact muscles in non-amputees. This will help improve how powered prostheses are controlled based on residual muscle signals.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves analysis rather than medication or invasive procedures, there are minimal side effects expected. Participants may experience discomfort from the sensors used to measure muscle activity.
